Can Nyong’o look more dazzling? This Prada gown was the perfect choice for the Toronto premiere of 12 Years a Slave.

Lupita Nyong'o: Palm Springs Film Festival

Pink and Gold

This Elie Saab shift dress at the Palm Springs International Film Festival awards gala is a step away from the gowns Nyong’o seems to favor, and we love the gold brocade detail over the pink. Beautiful.

Lupita Nyong'o: Oscar Dress Predictions

What will she wear to the Oscars?

Nyong’o gave a quick teaser about what she could be wearing to the Oscars to The Daily Beast: "I love color and gravitate towards solid block colors. I like clean lines and a classic look, but I also like to have a sense of humor and wear things that put a smile on my face."

Cryptic, but we’ll take it. Here are three looks we think she could be wearing, plus our favorite dresses we think she’d look great in!

1) A white dress

Have you noticed how much Nyong’o gravitates towards white?

2) A solid jewel tone

Nyong’o mostly always wears a solid, clean color (and admits to gravitating towards that), so we’d love to see her in something that packs a punch. Our guess is that it’s going to be by a really known designer.

3) Purple

We’ll go out on a limb here: she hasn’t worn anything too purple-based, so we’d love to see her in this number by.
